Jag fattar fortfarande inte..
Är det någon här som på rent allvar menar att en reflexväst inte skulle ha en inverkan på ens egen säkerhet?

7. The failure of motorists to detect and recognize motorcycles in traffic is the predominating cause of motorcycle accidents. The driver of the other vehicle involved in collision with the motorcycle did not see the motorcycle before the collision, or did not see the motorcycle until too late to avoid the collision.
9. The most frequent accident configuration is the motorcycle proceeding straight then the automobile makes a left turn in front of the oncoming motorcycle.
14. Conspicuity of the motorcycle is a critical factor in the multiple vehicle accidents, and accident involvement is significantly reduced by the use of motorcycle headlamps-on
In daylight and the wearing of high visibility yellow, orange or bright red jackets.
18. Conspicuity of the motorcycle is most critical for the frontal surfaces of the motorcycle and rider.

After adjustment for potential confounders,
drivers wearing any reflective or fluorescent clothing had a 37% lower risk (multivariate odds ratio 0.63, 95% confidence interval 0.42 to 0.94) than other drivers.
Compared with wearing a black helmet,
use of a white helmet was associated with a 24% lower risk (multivariate odds ratio 0.76, 0.57 to 0.99)
Nearly 20% of control drivers were wearing some type of reflective or fluorescent clothing.
Drivers wearing reflective or fluorescent clothing had a 37% lower risk of crash related injury than those who were not wearing such materials
Resultaten är rätt tydliga..
Svart hoj, svart hjälm, svart skinnställ.. = Hög risk.
Vit hjälm, reflexväst, ljus påslaget, extra reflex/synlighetsmaterial fram = Låg risk
Tänk att Haffa hade rätt!
